Anybody have experience with AF lounge access in Paris with a CO membership? On the next trip we are flying AF coach, me+spouse and 2 kids.
According to CO's Affilated Lounge Web Page you need to being flying on CO to gain access. Quote:
"Presidents Club members must be ticketed on a Continental flight to gain access to international affiliated lounges. Access can be limited at peak periods."
You can also gain access to AF lounges if you are fling CO Business First or AF Business, or if you are SkyTeam Elite +. I have gained access to AF lounges in Paris,Nice, and Berlin, with no problem under all three scenarios.
I would asssume this will all change after CO leaves SkyTeam.
